I keep coming back to the fact that I need to visualize my thoughts on plans. If there are no plans it will be very hard for the entrepreneur and us to remember what changes are to be made. So I have been drafting a scale 1:200 digital plan in Illustrator from old A1-paperplans. This is why I have been so absent. The mapping takes more time than I anticipated and I need the map to be done by tomorrow.

A soft quick knit string and hand sewn eyelets makes the mask more comfortable when wearing it for hours. The two layer construction give a snug fit on the face when the strings are pulled tight. The inner layer support a nose-mouth cone with a slit for inserting a filter, the inner layer also ad comfort as it layer absorb moisture from skin and breathing and closes tight on the face when the drawstrings are pulled in place on the head. The outer layer of mask cover the filter pocket. If one wishes you can sew on an additional denser filter with tacking stitch on the outside without pushing the needle into the inner layer. This mask is sewn from hemp and linen fabric.

I have test walked this mask for couple of days and find that with an additional outer filter made from a micro-filter vacuum cleaner bag. So far I have found it is possible for me to walk outdoors even when the wind has blown up dust and there are only a little pollen in the air. The real test comes when the pollen season starts for real. I have not yet tried to boil the mask on the Stowe for cleaning and reusing.

Inner filter are made from a coffee filter can be exchanged every and outer filter made from vacuum cleaner bag can be cut of and thrown away after some days of use.

Every year the same from Mars to June. I have a hard time breathing out doors due to winter mould, pollen and road dust. I have been walking outdoors with dust masks in springtime for years but suddenly the world changed and not just heavy duty dust masks are sold but all types of protective face masks. So this is my last one and spring has just begun. The dust mask above pinches my nose and does not fit well.

Hmm what to do?

Why not sew one or two.
I might have a pattern I can use somewhere in my mask pattern box.
